The product they sold me was absolutely garbage. The SX800R is such a worthless of piece of junk. Its expected from Motorola.
To make matters worse, this company doesn't offer returns! I politely asked for a return, only to get a broken record telling me no returns. I won't stand for online retailers treating customers like this. I used to work in such a position, I know when it is appropriate to allow returns or not.
"Wish I would have read these reviews first! I ordered a Canon PowerShot A570IS. I know that it has been discontinued, but I was replacing someone's that I dropped. I got the bait and switch too! It was first $129 which was the cheapest I could find, but got the call and it was $11 more for the US with warranty. I should have said then credit me! I got the camera, it does not have the 16M card with it like advertised, and when I called he said they don't make the 16M cards anymore, so they don't come with the camera. It's the PRINCIPLE I know a 16M card isn't worth much. I WILL NEVER do business with someone who has this lack of integrity. I could have gotten it through Sears cheaper had I known the additional "warranty" cost...which they added on as a shipping charge!"
"I've read the reviews about Hotbuys of which I believe Taaffe photo is affiliated, but I did not have the bad experiences others have had. In fact, it was one of the better online purchasing experiences.
They listed a new Minolta 35mm F1.4 G RS lens on their site for a very reasonable price. So reasonable that I called on Sunday to order. On Monday I did have to call to ask for an order confirmation e-mail. Instead, what was sent was a shipment e-mail that simply said "Thank you for your order it has been shipped." I called Tuesday to ask for a tracking number and one was given to me, indicating that the package would be delivered that day!
I did receive the package Tuesday afternoon, for the excellent price that was displayed, and the item was as described. No up-sale, bait and switch tactics, just a great lens. "
"I purchased a Canon 40D camera kit on eBay for Christmas last year from a site called "Only Sales" for what seemed to be a good price. I received a confirmatory e-mail from them stating that I would get the camera. The web site boasted a 98% approval rating. The site was removed from eBay the following day. I did receive the camera kit (after Christmas), however the lens was broken. I returned the kit for refund and was strung along for several months as they "looked into it". Eventually they admitted I would not get a refund but a replacement camera kit. I came to find out that this site was Taffee Photo. It has been 5 months since then and I continue to get strung along. I've complained to the BBB in New York without result. If anyone has a way to coerce them to make good on their commitment, I'd love to hear it. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH ANY OF THESE COMPANIES!!"
"I ordered a Kenwood KDC-C669 CD changer for my Kenwood Receiver from Taaffe on 7/14/08. I Received immediate order confirmation by email stating the item would be shipped in 5 days. Not being happy with the 5 day delay for shipping, I emailed customer service asking for a ship date. They replied promptly (within 30 minutes) saying the item would ship on 7/16 and they would supply the tracking data as soon as they received it from the shipper. The item arrived at my door via UPS on 7/21. I am very satisfied with Taaffe's service and especially their customer service representative's prompt and polite comunications and would highly recommend Taaffe for any internet purchases. "
"My shopping experience with Taaffe Photo proved a be quite a simple and enjoyable one. The item was received in a very timely fashion and was exactly as advertised. Would definitely return and anticipate using this company in the future! Would recommend to all!"
"This place is another NY style bull crap. Before I bought this camera I asked them over the phone if the camera was in stock. They said the camera was in stock. I was waiting for the transaction on my online banking. I waited for 2 days and asked them what was going on. The man said that they don't have the camera for the initial price and the camera that I ordered was import version, but they could give me the same camera with US warranty for 50 dollars more. Why do they say that they have it if they don't? I suppose it is some kind of trick that they are mastering very well. "
